Corrective	The error message is displayed when the Linux Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) mid-
Action:	layer asks for physical disk cache settings. The controller firmware manages the virtual disk
	cache settings on a per controller and a per virtual disk basis, so the firmware does not
	respond to this command. The Linux SCSI mid-layer assumes that the virtual disk's cache
	policy is Write-Through. SDB is the device node for a virtual disk. This value changes for each
	virtual disk.
	See the topic Write-Back And Write-Through for more information about Write-Throughcache.
	Except for this message, there is no effect of this behavior on normal operation. The cache
	policy of the virtual disk and the I/O throughput are not affected by this message. The cache
	policy settings for the PERC SAS RAID system remain unchanged.

Driver Does Not Auto-Build Into New Kernel

Issue:	Driver does not auto-build into new kernel after customer updates.
Corrective	This error is a generic problem for Dynamic Kernel Module Support (DKMS) and applies to all
Action:	DKMS-enabled driver packages. This issue occurs when you perform the following steps:
	1.	Install a DKMS-enabled driver package.
	2.	Run up2date or a similar tool to upgrade the kernel to the latest version.
	3.	Reboot to the new kernel.

The driver running in the new kernel is the native driver of the new kernel. The driver package you installed previously in the new kernel does not take effect in the new kernel:

1.Type: dkms build –m <module_name> –v <module version> –k <kernel version>.

2.Type: dkms install –m <module_name> –v <module version> –k <kernel version>.

3.Type the following to check whether the driver is successfully installed in the new kernel: DKMS. The following details appear:

<driver name>, <driver version>, <new kernel version>: installed

Unable To Register SCSI Device Error Message

Error:	smartd[smartd[2338] Device: /dev/sda, Bad IEC (SMART) mode
	page, err=-5, skip device smartd[2338] Unable to register SCSI
	device /dev/sda at line 1 of file /etc/smartd.conf.
Corrective	This is a known issue. An unsupported command is entered through the user application. User
Action:	applications attempt to direct Command Descriptor Blocks to RAID volumes. The error
	message does not affect the feature functionality. The Mode Sense/Select command is
	supported by firmware on the controller. However, the Linux kernel daemon issues the
	command to the virtual disk instead of to the driver IOCTL node. This action is not supported.
